Mount St. Helen’s had a brief coughing fit last night, that lasted about 30 minutes. There are cool pictures all over the web. Some people reported ash. Luckily, the local news was on at the time, so they were not forced to pre-empt any prime time television shows. I’m sure the 11 o’clock news was made up, entirely, of volcanic information. I heard that they worked it into both weather and sports. Tonight, we’ll probably have reports on dealing with the emotional ramifications of last night’s explosive event. I hope they have a bitchen title for the whole thing… Big Burp 2005!!
